Fastest Known Times (FKTs)
Can be run in either direction; do the hill at the start or the end. It matters not just so long as you do it all!
Please set your gender to see your position on the FKT leaderboards.
The more , the harder the FKT will be to beat. Learn about Fastest Known Times.
Description
The sign says dogs allowed but the DOC site says permit required. Email the local office - permits last 6 months.
Start by following the signs for the Lookout Track. This is a small out and back passing the toilet along the way. Once back near the beginning follow either of the signs for the Coastal Track. It doesn't matter which direction you go, you'll end up finishing back at the same spot.

Staying Safe
Easy.
The main coastal track is an easy loop where you can't really go wrong. The Lookout track is an out and back with a few options but they all join back up.
Generally good.
Windproof jacket, Whistle, First aid kit, Extra food for emergencies, Cellphone, Map.
There is a toilet but no drinkable water.
Track can get slippery after either rain or very dry weather.
Take care of tree roots. Tracks in the Sounds often have small slips after bad weather.
